Artichoke Embroidery Soft Gold/Cream

Morris and Friends Volume I Fabrics FabricMOF0054-02

Artichoke Embroidery Soft Gold/Cream presents a repeating field of stylised artichoke forms, curling stems and fine botanical tracery on a pale cream ground. Soft gold foliage gives the pattern warmth, while blue-grey details add a quietly cool counterpoint.

About this fabric

The design is especially distinctive in this colourway for its muted, light-catching combination of warm gold, cream and blue-grey, rather than a strong or saturated contrast. The 247 gsm fabric has a versatile mid-weight presence, and its 81 threads per cm support the finely drawn, closely arranged pattern visible across the swatch. The pattern repeat measures 62 cm vertically by 43.5 cm horizontally, allowing the artichoke medallions and curling vine connections to read clearly when planned across a wider surface. With a 131 cm usable width and a standard length of 35 m, it offers practical scope for coordinated soft furnishings.

How to use it

Use it against chalky whites, warm stone or pale grey-blue walls, where the soft gold foliage can add warmth without overpowering the cream ground. The blue-grey botanical accents also make it easy to link with understated painted furniture or cool-toned upholstery.

Use the warm cream ground and soft gold foliage to bring gentle definition to curtains, occasional upholstery or accent cushions.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Artichoke Embroidery Soft Gold/Cream without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
